AGARTALA, April 7 (TIWN): Tripura missed Rs. 6000 crores project for Ayurvedic Hospital and Health Service Development after the state govt failed to send any audit report to the Centre, it was said Union Minister for State AYUSH Shripad Naik on March 1st. But the Minister doesn't know that why health minister never showed interest for Ayurvedic. As a part of being Communist, Health Minister Badal Choudhury not only hates Ayurvedic treatments but he calls Ayurvedic Doctors as "Hature Doctors".
(quackish doctors). Mentioning about Ramdev he said, "Saint becoming businessman".
However, whether he believes or not, but all the states have accepted Ayurvedic as a part of medical science going beyond the Ministers personal believes.
However Central Minister also directly said, "Whereas Tripura Govt always pinches the Central Govt. saying that it is not allocating funds properly, in reality this Govt has no intension for development. This is wrong to blame accuse the Centre without any reason, whereas Central Govt is pushing Tripura Govt to jointly take a 14 crores project for Ayush hospitals where the state govt has to spend only 10 %. But till day the Govt gave no response to Centre's call. On the other hand at Shillong 2 institutes have already set up : One of Ayurvedic and another is of Homeopathic institutions. But from Tripura the Govt lack so much of co-operation that Centre is unable to push the ball of development".
"In 2015-16 total 14, 000 was allocated, and just under Ayush total 4000 crores were allocated. But Tripura Govt till day didn't send any utilization certificate. But, without utilization certificate no fund will be allocated further", said Naik.
The Minister further criticized the state govt for their attitude towards other political parties. He also referred his visit at Dharmanagar where whole day intentionally the power was cut. "With such revengeful mentality no state can progress", Naik added.
"The State-Centre would jointly work for the development of country as development is the first priority but no the politics", Naik said.
Naik also expressed dissatisfaction over the negligence of Ayurvedic medical science in Tripura.
"We are planning for 8 Ayush hospitals for 8 districts, but due to the silence of Tripura Govt it has remained as a dream project", added Naik.
